Do Kwon, that esteemed gentleman once lauded as a visionary, now finds himself in a most unbecoming situation, his lofty reputation reduced to ashes by a guilty plea in the grand affair of the TerraUSD and Luna debacle. One might say he has traded his silk waistcoat for a prison uniform, and the crypto community, ever a stage of drama, is most eager to witness the next act. 🎭
- Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, has admitted to orchestrating a $40 billion financial fiasco. 🤷♂️
- Many in the crypto community, ever the advocates of justice, declare this a long-awaited triumph. 🎉
- Creditors, however, remain in suspense, awaiting the next chapter. 🕰️
Upon the announcement of Kwon’s guilty plea, the digital salons of X erupted with a cacophony of relief, outrage, and a dash of vindication. One might imagine Lady Catherine de Bourgh herself taking to the stage, declaring, “Good to see justice done on the $40B crypto crash,” though one suspects she would have added a pointed remark about the gentleman’s lack of manners. 😂
Community Reacts to Kwon’s Guilty Plea
Rui, a notable figure in these circles, penned, “Good to see justice done,” a sentiment echoed by Bubble, who proclaimed, “Justice prevails at last.” FatManTerra, ever the critic, declared it “vindication after years of work,” though one wonders if the years in question were spent sipping tea or counting losses. ☕
The discourse swiftly turned to the matter of Kwon’s sentence. A potential 25 years in the clink, one might say, is a mere trifle for such a monumental transgression. Yet his guilty plea could reduce this to a paltry 12 years, a prospect that has left many aghast. “Do Kwon belongs in jail for 25 years minimum,” argued Radstaker, while FatManTerra suggested 15-20 years, a timeframe that, in Austen’s words, “would allow ample time for reflection, though not enough to forget the tea.” 🚨
Some, however, deemed even 12 years an overgenerous offer. “I hope Do Kwon goes to prison and they throw away the key,” wrote a fervent commentator, a sentiment echoed by Hot Guncle, who declared, “GFY and rot in jail until the end of your days.” One might say the gentleman in question has earned a place in the pantheon of Regency villains. 🤡
I hope that PoS Do Kwon goes to prison, and they lose the key. Do not pass “Go.” Do not collect $200. GFY and rot in jail until the end of your days. That is the minimal amount of justice he should face.

Amidst the uproar, a few dissenting voices emerged. One claimed Kwon was “no criminal,” merely a victim of a “broken blockchain,” while another insisted, “There was no crime,” as if defending the honor of a dear friend. One might say the gentleman in question has found an army of apologists, though their arguments are as flimsy as a silk gown in a gale. 🌪️
How the Terra Collapse Happened
The Terra ecosystem, in May 2022, met its demise with the loss of its stablecoin peg to the U.S. dollar, a financial catastrophe that left investors reeling. Unlike the staid, reserve-backed stablecoins, Terra’s UST relied on a “mint-and-burn” mechanism with its sister token, LUNA, a system as delicate as a Regency-era gown. 🧵
The unraveling began with Anchor Protocol’s generous 20% yields, a siren song that lured investors into a trap. As withdrawals mounted, UST’s value plummeted, and panic spread like wildfire. Terraform Labs, in a desperate bid to salvage the situation, minted LUNA by the millions, only to flood the market and send its price into a freefall. Even a $3 billion Bitcoin reserve could not halt the spiral, a tale of woe that would make even Mr. Darcy weep. 😢
Do Kwon, once a paragon of virtue, was arrested in Montenegro in 2023 and extradited to the U.S. in 2024, where his plea now hangs in the balance. Yet for many, the true question is not whether he deserves punishment, but whether his plea will bring solace to the victims. 💔
What Kwon’s Guilty Plea Means for Creditors
The creditors, left in limbo, now wonder if the $19 million forfeiture will bring any respite. “What does this mean for UST victims though? Any compensation coming?” asked AIM, their plea echoing through the digital halls. Yet Terraform Labs remains as silent as a ghost, their last update a mere whisper from May 2025. 🕯️

With Terraform Labs’ Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2024, creditors await further developments with bated breath. Meanwhile, the guilty plea has had little effect on prices, with LUNA and LUNC rising a mere 6% and 4%, a pittance for such a monumental affair. 💸
